My Handmade Baby Gifts - Burp Clothes & Onesies

Introducing my Handmade Fabric Appliquéd Burp Clothes & Onesie Gift Set. 

"L" is for Lovely Leena"

Our good friends Sarah & Z, the parents of adorable Natalie, and the family we joined out in Las Vegas last summer welcomed their 2nd child and 2nd girl, Leena, to the world in January. 

I sew together one side of Terry Cloth with one side Cute Fabric which also seen on the onesie adorns a hand cut fabric letter appliqué sporting the baby's first initial.  I made a card as well that adorns one of my fabric letters. And I'm having alot of fun with these. 

So I've got alot of friends having babies (and some of Justin's important RTB clients as well).  Most of my girlfriends have just one child already, a girl, Stella's age and they all kinow what they are having...another girl!  But there are some exceptions to that but that is the majority with the 7 plus people I know having a baby this spring or summer.   I must say I wouldn't be able to do these in a timely manner if all of these people were like me and NOT finding out the sex - so thank goodness they did or are doing so and are sharing the name or at least the first intial with me so I can get a move on these!  Because between juggling my daily routine and time with Stella - it takes me some time to complete a set, but again that's because I have a toddler to take care of and go have fun with whether it be in the backyard, zoo, etc.  :) 

Ok, so I'll post these in the order as I've given them away as gifts...

 

Day 1 NO PACI. Day 190 BABY CLARK #2.

Stella has done awesome on breaking the habit of the pacifier - SURPRISINGLY to both of us.  I thought it would be a herrendous week and she proved us wrong! 

Just 12 more weeks to go till Baby Clark #2!

Stella's STELLbottoms: The New Line & A Retrospective Look

~Introducing The New Line & A Retrospective Look at The STELLbottom~

One of my favorite pieces that my mom makes for Stella.  Take a look at all the different styles. And props to my Mom for coming up with such a creative "green" way to make adorable pants for an adorable girl (ok, I'm biased on the adorable girl part!).

• SPRING/SUMMER COLLECTION:  made with recycled sweater sleeves.  Linen, Cotton, Jersey Knit, and a lightweight Cashmere which is my favorite.  Although the ultra soft cotton ones are pretty nice too!

• FALL/WINTER COLLECTION: made with Fleece or Cashmere. 

• THE NEW LINE:  The flare starting all the way up at the knee - way cute, I need an adult pair of these.   

First, A RETROSPECTIVE LOOK

HER VERY FIRST PAIR (awwwww)

This pair actually was not made using recycled sweater sleeves.  I had alot of fun picking out the fabric and ribbon trim along the bottom for this one

They all start out a little long which allows for more wear since she grows fast - so once done as pants they are cute as capris.

     MY FAVORITE PAIR!

Although I think it's hard to really have a favorite, the jersey knits are so super soft and so so cute I think, especially adorned with the matching fabric flower.  Good thing we've got plenty more because I think she's officially outgrown these ones :(

Where the Flare Starts At The Knee, My New Favorite ;)

 Cashmere

This one is one of my favorites - love the pockets on the flares & the ruffled edge along the side calf

Fancy Label Ones

The label on this pant is so fun - my mom hung beads and an elephant charm from it 

She embroiders all of these labels with "Stellbottoms"

These pics were taken back in the fall when they were still too long for her but took the pic for my mom so she could display at a show.
